      Excellent picture, I was just there, and this captures the dropping water level perfectly.

      The color of the water is wonderful.

      But the drop in water is sad to see, but understandable when you consider how many people are moving to the region - especially Las Vegas.

      In today's news: There is a 50 percent chance Lake Mead, a key source of water for millions of people in the southwestern United States, will be dry by 2021 if climate changes as expected and future water usage is not curtailed, according to a pair of researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
